Chapter 2477: Chapter 2477

Even as an outsider, Ruan Jiaojiao felt her heart racing and stomach churning, let alone Yang Xiaona, her real sister; it truly felt as if her heart had split in two.

Seeing those wounds made her cry so much she was almost out of breath.

Yang Xiaodi could initially hold back, but seeing Yang Xiaona cry like this, she instantly turned into a tearful mess.

Ruan Jiaojiao watched from the side, her eyes also stinging. She bowed her head and sent a message to Ruan Chi, then crouched beside to comfort Yang Xiaona: "Xiaona, let’s go to the hospital first. Xiaodi’s wounds need to be properly treated. The driver is still waiting outside, let’s hurry to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaodi immediately shook her head vigorously: "No, no, I don’t need to go to the hospital, I’m fine, these wounds will scab over soon, no need to see a doctor, it’s too expensive."

"That’s not right, these wounds need to be treated, or else they will get infected," Ruan Jiaojiao explained, turning to Yang Xiaona, who, looking at Yang Xiaodi’s injuries, temporarily regained her senses. She wiped her tears, stood up, and said: "Xiaodi, be obedient, sis will take you to see a doctor."

Yang Xiaodi bit her lip, still not wanting to go, but not wanting to further distress Yang Xiaona, she could only nod.

On the way to the hospital, all three of them were silent.

Ruan Jiaojiao sat in the front, watching the rearview mirror, seeing Yang Xiaodi in the back seat appearing very uneasy, occasionally tugging at her clothes as if she was afraid of dirtying the car, she proactively changed the topic: "Xiaodi, did you really take out Xiaona’s household registration book?"

Hearing her mention this, Yang Xiaodi’s expression indeed brightened, temporarily forgetting about her unease. She hugged the patched schoolbag she was carrying in front of her, dug inside, and took out the household registration book, looking at Yang Xiaona with delight: "Sis, look."

Yang Xiaona received the household registration book but had no desire to look at it. She placed the household registration book aside, took Yang Xiaodi’s hand, stabilized her emotions but with a voice that was still somewhat hoarse, asked: "Xiaodi, tell me the truth, are these injuries from Mom and Dad hitting you?"

Yang Xiaona knew her parents loved to hit people. She herself hadn’t been spared in the past, but most of the time, even her parents wouldn’t hit her like this, because they loved money. They understood that injuring someone not only required money for treatment but also delayed work, so usually, they wouldn’t beat someone like this.

The worst beating she’d received was when Yang’s mother felt she hadn’t taken good care of her younger brother and hit her head with a hammer, but it was an isolated incident, not like the injuries she’d just seen on Yang Xiaodi, which clearly were accumulated over a long time. Moreover, they were bloody and mangled, as if scorched by something and slashed by a sharp tool—any kind of injury you could imagine was present.

However she looked at it, it didn’t seem that simple.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaodi instinctively pulled her sleeve down, remaining silent.

Yang Xiaona’s eyes turned red again. She didn’t continue asking, and seeing the car stop with Ruan Chi standing at the hospital entrance, surprise flashed in her eyes but she quickly understood; Ruan Jiaojiao must have called him over.

She gave Ruan Jiaojiao a slight smile, then after Ruan Chi opened the car door, she got out first.

Introducing to Yang Xiaodi, who was getting out of the car behind her: "Achi, this is my younger sister, Yang Xiaodi. Xiaodi, this is your brother-in-law, Ruan Chi."
